Dublin 4: €1.3m If parking a precious car is a priority, HOK Residential has the answer with The Mews, on Elgin Road, Ballsbridge, a bijou house with parking for up to four cars.

Scheduled for auction on September 29th, the large one-bedroom house, located beside St Bartholomew's Church, is expected to fetch around €1.3 million. Beyond the parking is a sheltered granite- walled patio garden that's overlooked by a large comfortable livingroom with fireplace. The 98sq m (1,054sq ft) of space, originally a two-bed, also has a gorgeous kitchen with dark timber units, and a vast range-style cooker.

Upstairs, the luxurious cream carpeted bedroom leads to an equally opulent and spacious bathroom.
